Please forgive my ignorance, but what are "stabilized Fedora
repositories" ?

IIRC modularity correctly, are we going to create distgit branch for
openstack requirements version from the upper-constraints file?
Then each openstack package would be a module built using those branches?
Perhaps we would be able to use those branched fedora spec in rdo repository
using automatic conversion?
